  • Boys

    I always sensed boys learned in a different way. I loved the scientific evidence to help parents and teachers better help boys learn and thrive.

  • Informative Show but Uneven Volume

    I’ve definitely learned a few things about parenting listening to this show. It’s well narrated and the show has good guests. My only annoyance is that somehow the main portion of the show is quite faint such that I have to max out the volume, then the ads explode in my ear.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ADHD: Why Traditional Approaches Fail, Episode #176
Q: How should parents think about rewards for teens with ADHD?
Rewards should be used cautiously and framed as healthy, time-limited incentives that support engagement without conditioning long-term dependence on external prizes.
Raising Kids Who Make Others Feel Like They Belong: How to Foster Inclusivity and Battle Racism, Episode #177
Q: What practical steps can families take to promote anti-racist thinking without making conversations political?
Engage in ongoing, age-appropriate discussions about differences, provide books and questions that spark curiosity, practice advocacy roles through role-plays, and connect classroom learning with real-life incidents to reinforce understanding and action.
Shrink Your Worries with Poppy 'O Neil, Episode #174
Q: What is bravery, and how can parents encourage it in a way that's realistic for anxious kids?
Bravery is feeling the fear and choosing to act anyway; the motivation to engage should be bigger than the worry, and parents should model brave behavior and celebrate small steps rather than expecting perfection.
Shrink Your Worries with Poppy 'O Neil, Episode #174
Q: So, hi Tammy and Tanya. My nine-year-old daughter has started avoiding social situations. How do I help her grow her bravery without pushing too hard?
Begin with calming the body through breath and movement, validate the feeling, and then gradually scaffold exposure with practical steps like going to a family party or small social interactions, using a balloon metaphor to keep bravery at a manageable level, and ensuring a safe adult is present to support them.
When Good Moms Feel Bad: How to Transform Parental Guilt, Anger, and Anxiety with Rebecca Geshuri, Episode 171
Q: If we've got parents listening and they're trying to figure out this whole manager versus firefighter dynamic, what do we do with those parts?
The first step is to identify the parts and practice unblending to create space between yourself and the part causing distress.
